Grasse est une ville majeure du moyen-pays de la Côte d'Azur située dans l'ouest du département des Alpes-Maritimes à 12 km au nord de Cannes sur la côte méditerranéenne. Grasse est la capitale mondiale du parfum, supplantant Montpellier dont la Faculté de pharmacie était la source de la création d'onguents et de parfums. Découvrez ses ruelles pavées datant de l'époque médiévale et ses bâtiments historiques.
Installée depuis 1926 dans cette magnifique usine, tannerie au XVIIIe siècle, elle est devenue usine de parfumerie au tout début du siècle suivant. Entièrement rénovée et sublimée en 2013, elle offre un parcours original de découverte des mystères de la parfumerie traditionnelle, depuis le traitement des matières premières jusqu’au conditionnement des produits finis. Les machines utilisées, des alambics en cuivre à celles des ateliers de savonnerie, offrent un intérêt historique, social et culturel sur les techniques et conditions de travail régissant les parfumeries familiales jusqu’aux années 1950.
Situé dans les montagnes des pré Alpes , Gourdon bénéficie d'une vue à couper le souffle. Profitez de ces petites échoppes aux spécialités locales comme la verrerie familiale ou la confiserie artisanale.
Découvrez le savoir-faire traditionnel, fusionné à un amour sans égal pour la vigne, qui donne naissance à de grands vins biologiques. Ces cépages uniques, le Rolle pour le blanc, le Braquet pour le rosé et la Folle Noire et le Grenache pour le Rouge, reflètent la typicité et le caractère de ces vins rares.

A fantastic selection. The local wine tasting was fun and we learned a lot about Provencal flavors.The timeline was very simple and gave us enough free time at every stop.
The guide was amazing . We had a good visiting the perfume factory and the médiéval villages of Grasse and Gourdon . We finish by a local vignard very interesting.

Wine, perfume, and fairytale French villages? Say less! 🍷🌸 If you are staying in Nice, you have to book this. It takes you away from the usual tourist spots and deep into the gorgeous Provencal lifestyle. My camera roll is completely full. 10/10 recommendation!

We had a wonderful time saw lots of beautiful villages in the countryside, and wonderful Mountain views. The tour guide herself was excellent and we appreciated all of her helpful insights.

Grasse was a lovely stop where we learned about perfume making. The medieval villages were our favorite part—so quiet, historic, and full of flowers. To finish the day, the local wine tasting was excellent. The wine was high quality and the atmosphere was very peaceful.

Amazing tour begining go end. Billie is a proud local and her love and passion for the region made the tour really special. She's also a very fun person and it felt like you were being shown around by a friend. We especially enjoyed the vineyard tour which was unique and unlike any I had taken before. We also had the best meal of our stay in Gourdon which Billie had reserved in advance. She also provided great recommendations which made our stay better beyond the tour itself. Do yourself a favor and take this tour. If we had longer we would have booked addition tours with Billie and will be recommending it to all our friends and hope to also take ourselves next time we're in the area.

A very enjoyable excursion from Nice. The landscapes were beautiful and the villages felt like stepping back in time. The local wine tasting was excellent, and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

Billie provided my daughter and I with a wonderful trip to Grasse, Gourdon, and a lovely organic, family-owned winery. The region is beautiful, and Billie curated a fantastic experience for us: we had a great day enjoying the sights, scents, tastes, and tactile goods of Southern France. We also loved the balance of learning about the region from Billie and spending some alone-time to explore. I highly recommend this experience!
